Job SAbout Hello Hyderabad
Hello Hyderabad brings the rich, authentic flavors of Indian cuisine to the heart of Minneapolis. Known for our exceptional hospitality and vibrant dishes, we are entering an exciting new chapter.
Important Transition Note: Our lease at our current building ends on September 15. At that time, our entire staff, operations, and kitchen will seamlessly shift to our brand-new, upgraded location in Minneapolis. We are hiring long-term team members who want to start training at our current location now and successfully transition with us to our new home this fall!
Job Overview
We are seeking a reliable, high-energy Front of House (FOH) / Food Runner to join our hospitality team. In this role, you will serve as the critical anchor between the kitchen and the dining room. Your primary goal is to ensure that every dish reaches the guest quickly, safely, and exactly as ordered, while maintaining an inviting and clean environment.
Detailed Duties & Responsibilities
1. Food Running & Guest Service
Deliver hot, freshly prepared dishes from the kitchen line to guest tables or the front counter immediately.
Memorize table numbers, seat numbers, and floor layouts to ensure seamless delivery without asking guests "who ordered what."
Visually inspect every plate before it leaves the kitchen to ensure accurate presentation, correct modifications, and proper garnishes.
Confidently explain menu items, ingredients, and potential allergens to guests upon request.
2. Front of House Operations
Greet guests warmly as they enter, assist with front-counter ordering, and efficiently process payments using our POS system.
Accurately package, double-check, and organize takeout and delivery orders (UberEats, DoorDash, etc.) to ensure zero missing items.
Maintain a clean, sanitized, and organized expo line, condiment station, and dining area throughout the shift.
Clear, bus, and sanitize tables efficiently to ensure a fast turnover rate for waiting guests.
3. Team Collaboration & Transition
Act as the eyes and ears of the front of house, communicating guest feedback or kitchen delays clearly to managers and servers.
Assist in restocking front-of-house supplies, ice, paper goods, and beverages.
Maintain flexibility and a positive attitude as the entire team prepares for and executes the physical move to our new store location in mid-September.
Job Requirements & Qualifications

Ability to lift, carry, and balance restaurant trays weighing up to 25–30 lbs.
Must have reliable transportation to Downtown Minneapolis.
Availability: Flexible schedule including night shifts, weekends, and holidays.
Benefits & Perks
Competitive base hourly wage plus a share of the tip pool.
Free or heavily discounted employee meals during shifts.
On-the-job training and clear pathways to promotion (Server, Shift Lead) as we expand into our new location.
A supportive, close-knit team culture.
